Koutouloufari

Koutouloufari is a very pretty village above the developed and established resort of Hersonissos on the north coast of Crete, 18 miles east of the capital Heraklion and the airport and 23 miles north-west of Agios Nikolaos. Holidays in Koutouloufari appeal to those wanting to enjoy the facilities and nightlife of a bigger resort while staying in a small village atmosphere. Koutouloufari is a charming place set on the hillside above Hersonissos with excellent views of a broad bay and the port. Koutouloufari holidays are set in a village that still looks and feels like a traditional Crete destination. There are pleasant local shops and restaurants with lots of character. Hersonissos is less than a mile down the hill.  Hersonissos is an established busy and cosmopolitan beach and party resort where you will find everything that you might lack in peaceful picturesque Koutouloufari.

When it comes to finding a great location, holidays in Koutouloufari are an inspired choice. It's a fairly traditional hillside village, quite quiet but with plenty of gift shops and tavernas and fantastic views of coast and countryside. And nestled between your resort and the sea is Koutouloufari's USP … Its nearest neighbour is Hersonissos, just at the bottom of the hill. So you're near enough for the very lively nightlife, and far enough to be undisturbed by it.

On Koutouloufari holidays, you can opt to join the throng for a day on the beach, where watersports abound …or chill out by the pool 'back home', with a long cool drink from the bar. You could take the kids to the waterpark for as many thrills and spills as they can handle. Or catch the bus to Knossos for the legend of the Minotaur. And in the evening, as you go down to party in Hersonissos, you'll cross with people coming up for the romance of moonlit dinners in Koutouloufari.

Self-catering holidays in Koutouloufari will please couples and families alike. Get a glimpse of the nice accomodations – intimate little complexes, quietly set at the edge of the village – close to the shops and eateries of the main square. Each has its own pool and great views down to the sea.
